Native plants filter groundwater with their root systems, prevent erosion, and provide natural pollinator habitat. They are suited to Minnesota's climate and require little maintenance.

They can significantly reduce erosion and surface runoff, cutting the nitrogen and phosphorus that seeps into the lake.
